As Drake and Beth await the test results in Dr Wright's office, they are interrupted by his receptionist. There is an emergency and he has to leave for a few minutes. He excuses himself and takes the file with him. Drake and Beth sit and wait in his office in silence. They are still holding hands. Each of them is nervous about the outcome. Each worries that nothing will be the same. Their thoughts are interrupted when Jack arrives. Drake and Beth stand to face him.
"What are you doing here?" Beth asks him angrily.
"Look Sweetheart, I have as much of a right to be here as that guy."
"That guy is my husband. And no matter what this test proves, nothing is going to change that." Beth says as she defends her marriage. Drake looks at his wife with pride in his eyes.
"You say that now Beth, but just wait. When that test proves that Jake is mine…."
"Just back off, alright?" Drake interrupts. "You shouldn't even be here. This is a very private matter, a matter that you were not invited to."
"I have a right to be here. Not only as a doctor on staff at this hospital, but…"
"What?" Beth interrupts. "You're on staff here now?"
"Effective today. Don't look so surprised, Beth. I told you I was looking into it."
"Yes, you did. But I didn't think you would actually accept a position here again." Beth responds as she crosses her arms. She begins to pace in the small space that is Dr Wright's office.
"Well you thought wrong." Jack responds proudly. "I'm a different person now Elizabeth. I'm not the same person that crawled out of town five years ago when you broke things off. I know what I want and I am not giving up so easily."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Drake asks as he gets in Jack's face. "What exactly are you hoping to accomplish here? You think you can come between me and my wife? Break up our marriage? Think again because it's not going to happen."
Jack just laughs it off. Drake is still in his face, his expression oozing with anger. Beth is standing behind Drake, her arms still crossed. She is absolutely dreading this. Her husband and her ex-boyfriend facing off is not something she ever expected to see. She wants to intervene, but she is frozen where she stands.
"Oh yeah, Beth's got herself a real man now. If your marriage is so solid, you wouldn't be standing here trying to defend it. You wouldn't be standing three feet away from each other worrying about some guy coming between you. But what do I know, right? I'm just the guy who lost the girl five years ago."
"You're pathetic. Chasing after something you can't have." Drake responds as he reclaims his confidence. "I actually feel sorry for you. You had to use our child as a way of getting to my wife. And when that doesn't work, what will your next move be, huh? Are you going to feign mental illness just to get close to her? Act a little crazy just to become her patient? Just how far are you willing to go to immerse yourself in her life, Dr Crazy?"
Jack takes a swing at Drake.
"No! Jack!" Beth screams as she holds her face in her hands in shock. Drake's extensive police training allows him to block his swing as he takes his own swing at Jack. Jack falls to the floor and holds his face where Drake struck him. He looks up at the couple in shock. Beth steps up behind Drake and wraps her arms around his waist. He returns the gesture by putting his hand on top of hers.
Dr Wright returns to his office with the file and finds Jack on the floor. He closes the door and looks up at the Mallards. "I guess I don't need to ask what this is about." Dr Wright takes his position behind his desk as Jack slowly stands.
"If you could please excuse us Dr Dawson, I have an appointment with Drake and Beth that I'd like to finish." Dr Wright requests as he slaps the file on his desk. Drake and Beth both stare at the file as though it were about to disappear.
"Dr Wright, this concerns me just as much as it concerns these two." Jack tries to defend his position.
"Actually it doesn't" Dr Wright retorts. "This is an appointment that was set up by Drake and Beth. You are not a family member nor are you a consultant in this matter. So I suggest you leave before I inform the chief of staff of your behavior in my office."
Jack is outraged. He continues to hold his face. "What? He hit me. Did you not see me on the floor when you walked in here?"
"Yes, believe I did see you on the floor. However I find it hard to believe that Detective Mallard here would take the first swing. Am I right?" Doctor Wright argues. Jack doesn't respond. Rather then press the matter further, he leaves and shuts the door behind him.
"I'm sorry Dr Wright." Drake says softly.
"No need to apologize." Dr Wright says as he takes his seat behind his desk. Drake and Beth sit down in their chairs as well and proceed to hold hands again. "I know that this is a complicated and delicate matter, and Dr Dawson had no right to show up here and make things worse. Unfortunately as a doctor on staff he had access to see when you would be coming in for this appointment. But, I can assure you that he did not have any access to the test samples or the results. I personally hand delivered them to the lab and waited as the technician ran the tests."
"We really appreciate you taking special care and handling this so professionally." Beth says as she crosses one leg over the other. Drake and Beth begin to feel nervous again as they prepare to hear the results of Jake's DNA test.
"That's what I do Beth. Shall we?" Dr Wright asks as he prepares to open the file.
"Yes please." Beth responds as she starts to grip Drake's hand a little tighter.

Down town St Canard, Gosalyn and Skyler are walking away from the theater toward his apartment where he lives with Launchpad, Gwen and Bree. He and Gosalyn are holding hands. For the first time in hours, Gosalyn is feeling at ease as she spends quality time with her boyfriend. This comfort quickly fades when he brings up the subject of dance.
"I've gotta admit. I was very skeptical when Aunt Bree decided to pair us with other people for the season. But after working with Bailar, I kinda see where she is going with this." Skye says as he looks down at Gosalyn.
"What do you mean?" Gosalyn asks as she tries to hide her discomfort.
"I mean she's trying to expand on our talents. She's forcing us to be creative and learn from each other. Don't get me wrong. I love being your dance partner. It's comfortable and it's one of the things I love about dancing. But I feel like dancing with Bailar has challenged me. She's teaching me things, and I'm teaching her things. What about you?"
Gosalyn is pulled out of her daze as she looks up at Skye. "Huh?" She asks as though she weren't paying attention.
"You and Javo. How are things going with you two? I mean he's this big time professional dancer in our little town and he's dancing with you. That's gotta be a little intimidating."
"It is. I mean what's he even doing here anyway?" Gosalyn asks as they continue to walk hand in hand. "He's studied in England and New York City. Doesn't it seem a little odd to you that he would pick Saint Canard as his next venture?"
"Extremely. I don't get it either. But while he's here we might as well take advantage and learn what we can from him. You know?" Skye responds as he looks down at Gosalyn again. She doesn't answer him. "Gosalyn?"
"Huh?" Gosalyn snaps out of her daze again. "Yeah, sure."
"You okay?" Skye asks as they slow their pace. "You seem a little distracted."
"I'm fine. I'm just tired, you know. Late rehearsal last night, early run with the team this morning…." Gosalyn does her best to cover what is really going on.
"You sure that's all it is?" Skye asks has he faces her and holds both of her hands.
"I'm sure" Gosalyn responds before she kisses him. A few seconds later they each pull away. Skye is satisfied with her excuse and lets it go. They continue to walk toward his apartment, where Drake and Beth will pick her up after their appointment.
/
Back at the hospital, Drake and Beth anxiously wait for Dr Wright to read the results to them. They watch as he opens the file and begins to read the information to himself. He puts the file down and removes his glasses. He folds his hands and looks up at the nervous couple. "I am happy to report that Jake is without a doubt your son, Detective."
Drake and Beth each let out a sigh of relief. They catch each other smiling with tears in their eyes. Dr Wright can't help but tear up as well as he watches them kiss.
/
Later in the afternoon, Gosalyn approaches Beth in the kitchen. Beth is cooking dinner for herself, Drake, Jake, Hayley and MacKena. Trina will be spending time with Christian while the girls spend some time at the mall.
"Dad said you wanted to see me." Gosalyn says as she slowly walks into the kitchen.
Beth looks up at her and smiles as she sets the table. "Yes I did. Your Dad told me that you saw me kissing Jack yesterday."
Gosalyn starts to feel uncomfortable, and a little embarrassed. It is bad enough that she had to admit to her father what she saw, but now she is being confronted by her stepmom with what she saw. She breaks eye contact with Beth. "I guess he told you I ratted you out."
"It's not like that, Sweetie. He knows it upset you. And I want you to know that you could've come talk to me about it. You can still talk to me about it." Beth says as she tries to put Gosalyn at ease.
"I know, I'm sorry. I just didn't want to believe that you would fool around with some guy behind Dad's back. And when I saw you two kissing….. I didn't know what to believe." Gosalyn says as she continues to avoid looking at Beth.
Beth pulls out a chair and sits down. She pulls out the chair next to her and Gosalyn sits down. "I don't have to tell you that things get more and more complicated as you get older. I think you already know that. Things get even more complicated when people are not honest with each other. My biggest advice to you is… always be honest with the people you love. No matter how difficult it is. It only makes your relationships stronger and more trustworthy."
Gosalyn ponders Beth's words for a minute. She thinks about how she felt when she saw Beth and Jack kissing. She also thinks about her growing attraction toward Javo, and how she felt when he groped her leg. She wants to tell somebody, but she is not quite ready to do that. She thinks about how things may have been different, had she just talked to Beth about the kiss rather than torture herself with the idea that Beth was cheating on her Dad. She finally looks into Beth's eyes.
"I'm sorry I didn't come to you first." She begins. "I guess I got the wrong idea and I immediately jumped to the wrong conclusion. I don't want to see my Dad hurt."
"Neither do I." Beth responds softly. "I love your father and I would never cheat on him. You know that right?"
"Yeah, sure." Gosalyn agrees as she looks down at her lap. She is not very convincing. This doesn't sit well with Beth.
Drake slowly approaches the kitchen. "Hey, sorry to interrupt but Trina is here to take the girls to the mall."
Gosalyn and Beth both stand to face him. Drake can see that he has walked in on an intense conversation. "Is everything okay in here?"
Gosalyn quickly changes her mood for her father's sake. "Everything's great. Bye Dad." Drake kisses Gosalyn's head as she walks past him and leaves the kitchen. He watches after her as Beth slowly sinks down in her seat again.
Drake walks over to her and sits where Gosalyn was just seated. He observes his wife for a few seconds. "You're not a good liar Beth. That didn't go well, did it?"
"No, it didn't." Beth answers him. "While I was talking to her I had this overwhelming feeling of déjà vu."
"What do you mean?" Drake asks her as he takes one of her hands in his on the table.
"I feel like I'm back to where I was five years ago when I first met her. When you and I started to get serious, she wasn't receptive of me at all. I had to win her over."
"Yeah, I remember." Drake says calmly. "But what's that got to do with what's happening now?"
"Drake, our daughter saw her father's new wife kissing another man in our kitchen. That's not a vision she's gonna forget about anytime soon. In that split second I lost all credibility I had with her."
Drake continues to hold Beth's hand but looks away from her for a few seconds. "Did you explain to her that things are not what they seem?"
"Yes, but I don't think she believed me." Beth answers him as she gets more upset.
"I'll talk to her"
"No" Beth protests. "No, it's okay. This is my problem and I need to handle it."
"No, we will handle it together." Drake corrects her as he takes her other hand in his. "And Honey, it's not a problem, okay? It's a bump in the road. We will explain to Gosalyn that we are happy in our marriage and that Jack was messing with the wrong couple."
Beth starts to feel better and manages to smile at her husband. He smiles back. "Are we okay?" He asks her.
"We're great" She answers him as she starts to kiss him. Drake holds her face and returns the kiss.

At the mall, Gosalyn watches as Abby has two red streaks added to her long black locks. When the stylist is finished, Abby looks in the mirror and is happy with what she sees.
"This turned out better than I thought." She says as she observes her new look. "What do you think?"
"It's hip. But I doubt your Mom will think so." Gosalyn answers as she looks through a style magazine.
"So what?" Abby shoots back as she pays the stylist. "It's my hair and I can do what I want with it. Now quit stalling and tell me about Beth."
"What about her?" Gosalyn tries to avoid the conversation.
"Duh, about the kiss we saw. She asked you about it, didn't she?"
"She might have." Gosalyn says as they walk through the mall.
"Well, what did she say?" Abby asks as she starts to get annoyed.
"She said that she's not cheating on Dad." Gosalyn finally answers the question as she looks at some earrings in one of the stores.
"You don't believe her"
"I don't know" Gosalyn says sadly. "Abby, do you think it's possible to love someone, but be attracted to someone else?" At this point, Gosalyn is not only thinking about Beth, but also about her situation with Skyler and Javo.
"I don't know" Abby shrugs her shoulders. "Why, do you think Beth's attracted to that guy?"
"I don't know. I just don't think that I have room to judge when I…."
"When you, what?" Abby asks
Gosalyn hesitates before she answers. "When I know nothing about the situation she's in."
Gosalyn is saved from further explanation as Abby spots Skyler at the mall. "Hey, is that Skyler?"
Gosalyn turns to look and sees her boyfriend walking the mall.
"Did you know he was going to be here?" Abby asks.
"No, I didn't. Come on, let's go say hi."
Gosalyn eagerly grabs Abby's arm but Abby pulls away when she notices the guy that Skyler is with.
"Hey, who's that cute boy over there?" She asks Gosalyn as she smiles.
"What boy?"
"That boy walking next to him, the guy with the red hair." Abby points him out.
"What, you mean Tank? Abby, that's Tank, Honker's brother. Did you just call him cute?"
"I sure did" Abby says as she continues to stare at Tank.
Gosalyn is disgusted. "Ugh, you have got to be kidding me."
"Look, I know he's not cute to you. You grew up living next door to him. He's like your brother or something." Abby defends her position.
"Abby, you can't be serious. I mean Tank, really?"
"Didn't you want to go say hi to your boyfriend?" Abby asks as she tries to change the subject.
Gosalyn and Abby make their way over to Skyler and Tank. Skyler is happy to see his girlfriend and promptly gives her a hug. Tank and Abby look at each other. Abby does her best to hide the fact that she was checking Tank out. But Tank is checking her out too.
"Cool hair." Tank says to Abby as Gosalyn and Skye pull away from their hug.
"Thanks. I'm Abby." She says as she holds out her hand. Tank accepts her hand and shakes it.
"Yeah, I know. You're friends with my brother Honker."
"I didn't know you two hung out. When did that start?" Gosalyn asks Skye.
"Coach paired us up for drills this season. At first I thought he was out of his mind, having us work together." Skye explains.
"Yeah, I mean what could I possibly have in common with this intellectual geek?" Tank jokes. Gosalyn gives him a dirty look. She doesn't find his comment humorous.
Skye smiles and puts his arm around Gosalyn. "And what could I possibly gain by teaming up with this indolent pompous ass."
Tank turns to look at Abby "Turns out we work pretty good together."
"Well" Gosalyn corrects as she glares at Tank. This time Tank gives her a dirty look before he continues. "Coach even started planning his plays around us. He's giving us a chance to lead first string."
"Great" Abby says as she smiles at Tank. He smiles back. "Do you play?" He asks her.
"What?" Abby asks him.
"Do you play soccer?"
"Yes, I'm on varsity with Gosalyn." She answers, feeling foolish for not understanding what he was asking her.
"Cool. You know we should check out each other's games sometime." Tank suggests as he looks at Skyler and Gosalyn. "Maybe we can, you know, hang out."
"Yeah, maybe" Abby shyly agrees. Gosalyn releases herself from under Skye's arm and decides that it's time to go.
"We should get going." Gosalyn grabs Abby's arm and attempts to pull her away.
"I guess I'll be seeing you." Tank says in a flirting tone. This makes Abby smile more. She doesn't respond but she keeps eye contact with Tank. After a few seconds Gosalyn finally manages to get Abby to leave. Skye and Tank watch them walk away.
"Dude, what was that?" Skye asks Tank. Tank stops watching Abby and turns to face Skye.
"What was what?" Tank asks, acting oblivious to what had just happened.
"Since when are you interested in taking up a girl's varsity soccer game? You could care less about any high school game that you are not participating in."
"I like soccer." Tank tries to deflect what Skye is about to accuse him of.
"You like girls. You like many girls at a time. And I'm not judging you, but when you set your sights on a friend of mine I have to intervene."
"Intervene all you want bro, but if Abby wants to hang out with me, you can't stop her." Tank says.
"No I can't. Look you and I have become good friends over the past few weeks. Which definitely came out of left field. Abby is a good friend of mine too. And she's been through a lot. So if you break her heart, I break your face. You got it?" Skye warns in a serious tone.
"Dude, lighten up." Tank says with a smile. "Look if it's that important to you, I won't pursue her, alright?"
"Really?"
"Yeah. Now let's hit the food court. I'm starving." Tank says as he walks past Skye.

The next day at school, Gosalyn approaches Abby at her locker. She is smiling like she hasn't smiled in a long time. Gosalyn notices this and immediately worries about her friend.
"What are you smiling about?"
"Am I smiling? I am aren't I?" She says as she closes her locker.
"Yeah, and it's creeping me out. So do you mind telling me what's going on?" Gosalyn asks her friend.
"What, I can't just be happy for no reason?"
"It's just completely unexpected. I mean your Mom and my Dad both chewed you out for messing with your hair and Coach made you do extra push ups in gym class. Not to mention the killer test we have in World History today." Gosalyn lists the things that Abby should be unhappy about at the present time. But Abby just brushes it off.
"Well, I like the way my hair is. And I don't care about what Coach says or does. And Gos, we studied for this test, we're ready for it." As Gosalyn and Abby start walking the halls, someone knocks into Abby, causing her to drop her books. The girls watch as the boy keeps running in the other direction. Tank sees this and runs over to Abby. He gets on the ground and starts to pick up her books. Abby looks down and sees him doing this. She is amazed, and appreciative.
"Here you go" Tank says after he stands to hand over her books.
Abby smiles at him while Gosalyn rolls her eyes. "Thanks"
"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" Tank asks her as he touches her arm. Abby feels an instant spark as she feels his hand on her arm. This makes her nervous, but she does her best to cover.
"I'm okay. Um, just some rude kid, he was obviously in a hurry."
"Don't worry, I'll set him straight." Tank says as he looks in the direction where the boy ran off.
"You don't have to do that."
"That kid needs to learn some manners. You don't just go running into a lady, knock her books out of her hands and run off." Tank explains.
"There are other ways to teach someone manners that doesn't involve bullying, Tank" Gosalyn interrupts.
"Stay out of this, Mallard." Tank says without looking at Gosalyn.
"Thanks, I appreciate you wanting to defend my honor, but maybe you can do that another way." Abby says, hoping her words came out with confidence.
"I'm listening" Tank says
"You said we can hang out sometime. So, how 'bout we hang out sometime tonight, you know after soccer practice." Abby asks as she slowly twists her body right to left.
"You got it" Tank accepts with a smile. "You know, there's this new pizza joint that opened a few days ago. Why don't we check it out?"
"That would be cool. So see you around seven?"
"See you at seven" Tank confirms. Gosalyn just watches with disbelief, as Tank and Abby continue to smile at each other.

Drake and Taylor are driving around town in their patrol car. They have been interviewing witnesses all day for a cold case that they are working on. They are trying to find missing young mother Teresa Clover. Taylor has been doing her best to hide the fact that she is feeling sick. Drake can sense that something is wrong and decides to ask her about it.
"You alright Detective?"
"I'm fine. I just thought we would have more information by now that could lead us to Teresa." Taylor says as she puts her hand on her forehead.
Drake is not convinced. "You don't have to lie to me, you know. If you're feeling sick, why don't you just tell me that?"
Taylor releases her hand from her forehead and angrily looks in Drake's direction. "Fine, I'm feeling sick, okay? I'm nauseous, I'm tired, I'm bloated and I'm extremely irritated that I won't have any control over my body for the next five months. Happy?"
"Can we add hormonal to the list?" Drake tries to make light of the situation, but Taylor does not find him amusing. Drake continues trying. "I'm sorry. I'm not trying to make fun of you. I just want you to see that I am not uncomfortable with talking about your pregnancy. And I don't want you to be either."
"Noted"
"I'm serious" Drake continues. "We are going to be spending a lot of time together during your pregnancy and I don't think it's necessary for you to avoid talking about it."
Taylor is impressed, but she doesn't allow Drake to be fully aware of it. "Well, then I'll be sure to tell you about every sneeze, every hiccup and ever nail I break during the course of the next five months. That sound good to you?"
Drake chuckles as he keeps his eyes on the road. "Sounds great." His phone rings and he reaches to answer it without taking his eyes off the road. He knows that it is Hayley since he had a specific ring tone set for her calls.
"What's up Hayles?"
Hayley asks him to pick up her daughter at daycare since her meeting is going to run late. Drake agrees.
/
Tank and Abby are getting to know each other at the new pizza restaurant in town. They both order the usual, soda and a few slices of pizza.
"Um, the pizza's good here." Abby says after she takes a few bites of her pizza.
Tank wants to impress her, so he doesn't stuff his face with pizza like he normally would. "I need to tell you something"
"What is it?" Abby asks as she sips her soda.
"Skyler said I should be careful with you. Is there a reason why he would do that?"
Abby pauses for a moment, straw still in her mouth. She thinks about what she wants to say. She doesn't want to tell him everything on their first date. She might scare him off. "He was just looking out for me. Kind of sweet if you think about it."
"Yeah, I guess" Tank says as he takes another bite of his pizza.
"Don't worry about Skye, okay? We're here to get to know each other, right?"
"Right" Tank agrees with a smile.

At the Mallard house, Launchpad is there with Drake, MacKena and Jake. They are sitting on the family room floor playing with big Lego blocks. Launchpad doesn't get to spend a lot of time with Drake so he takes this opportunity to share his fears of fathering triplets.
"I think you and Gwen are going to be great parents. I don't think you should worry about it Pal." Drake tries to talk to his friend.
"Yeah, but there's going to be three of them. Three versus two. Those aren't very good odds." Launchpad argues as he helps Jake with his tower.
"You worry now, but when you first see them and you first hold them, all of this worry and anxiety is going to go straight out the window. Not to sound profound, but all the love you have for them is going to take precedence over your fears."
"You think?"
"I know" Drake corrects him. "I never told anyone this, but I felt a lot of anxiety when I first looked into adopting Gosalyn. There were a few interviews, some paperwork, some background checks, and each step just kept making me feel worse. But when I walked into that orphanage and she charged into me and knocked me off my feet, any anxiety I felt about becoming a parent was gone. I just saw her face and I knew that everything was going to be okay."
"But, not to sound profound or anything" Launchpad says with sarcasm.
"Right"
The news broadcast on the television catches their attention. There is an accident on Audubon Bay Bridge that connects the city to the suburbs.
"I better call the kids, and Beth and Hayley" Drake immediately gets to his feet and calls his family members. All of them are currently in the city. Beth and Hayley are working, Abby is on her date with Tank and Gosalyn is at rehearsal. He rejoins the ducks after he confirms that they are all okay.
"Is everything okay?" Launchpad asks as he continues to help Jake with his tower.
"Yeah, I wanted to make sure that they weren't in this mess. The bad news is they aren't going to be home anytime soon and you are stuck here for a while my friend."
"I guess there are worse places to be stuck in" Launchpad says as Drake gives him a look. As Drake sits on the floor with them he notices an odor coming from his niece. Launchpad notices it too. "Uh oh, looks like someone needs a diaper change."
"Hayley told me not to change her, but it could be hours before she gets back here." Drake says has he stands up again. "MacKena, why don't we go upstairs for a few minutes, okay?"
MacKena stands and immediately realizes that she's filled her diaper. She gets upset and starts to cry. Drake gently picks her up and carries her up the stairs.
This is the first time that his niece has been left in his care for more than five minutes. She is not comfortable with him yet. She's only comfortable with her mother and a few teachers at her day care. She gets more upset as he lays her on the changing table. Drake tries to calm her down by singing to her. He figures if it worked for Jake it should work for MacKena too. He's right, because as he sings to her, she tones down her crying. However, as he starts to clean her up she lifts her bottom in pain and starts to cry again. Drake notices that she has a bad rash and tries to be more gentile. After he cleans her up, he grabs a tube of cream that they use for Christian when he has bad rashes. Drake continues to sing to her as he rubs the cream on her and puts her in a new diaper. She calms down and allows him to put pajamas on her. He decides to do this since it is getting late and it is almost her bedtime.
"Can Uncle Drake have a kiss?" He asks her. Initially she shakes her head no, then she laughs out loud when he tickles her. He asks her again. "Can Uncle Drake please have a kiss? "This time she laughs while she shakes her head, knowing that he is going to tickle her again. When Drake asks a third time, she smiles and kisses his beak.

Gosalyn is at rehearsal with Javo. She didn't want to rehearse tonight, but he insisted. They are working on the same piece that they were working on during the last rehearsal. Javo thinks that Gosalyn has great technique, but lacks character in her dancing.
"You need to show more emotion while you dance. Try again." He instructs. Gosalyn is frustrated, but she prepares to start again. As she performs, Javo shakes his head. "No, no, no, no. You're not getting it. There is no mystery in your dancing. No spontaneity. Forget the straight legs and controlled center for a minute and tell a story."
"What story?" Gosalyn asks "Bree choreographed this dance and I'm doing it."
"There is more to dancing then choreographed steps. Here, let me show you." Javo positions himself behind Gosalyn and puts one arm around her waist and holds her hand that is up in the air. She starts to tense up as they begin their dance. A few seconds into their dance, he gropes her leg again. Gosalyn freezes as he feels his way up her dance skirt and grabs her crotch. She gasps and struggles to free herself from his hold. He lets her go and she walks away from him until there are a few feet between them. Her arms are crossed and she is looking down.
"What's your problem?" He asks her.
"Why did you do that?" Gosalyn asks as she fights to gain her composure back.
"I did it to get a reaction out of you. And it worked." Javo says as he walks past Gosalyn and gathers his things. "That's enough for tonight. You can leave." Javo turns out the lights as he leaves, even though Gosalyn is still standing in the middle of the studio. She stands there for a few minutes with her arms crossed, shivering and on the verge of tears. Even though there is nobody there to see her cry, she does everything she can to avoid letting it out.
